C# Tuning

For all the men out there who can’t sing like a four-octave tenor, I’ve found this to be a very useful idea.

I bought a flat top with incredibly good intonation, adjusted the truss rod for higher action, and installed heavier gauge strings (mediums), then tuned the guitar to C# F# B E G# C# low to high tuning. With this tuning, I can put the capo on the 3rd fret and play with anyone else tuned up to pitch or adjust lower or remove the capo completely and sing anything from Blackbird to The Needle and the Damage Done and still preserve the original hand positions used by the composers.
